ZURICH -- Former Brazil great Zico travelled to the home of FIFA with one goal in mind: Show everyone that he is serious about his bid to lead football's world governing body.
Taking advantage that FIFA members were in town for executive meetings, Zico came along to tell his story and convince them that he is not in the presidential race just to gain visibility or profit from it.
He says "we are not here to play with something so serious. We want to promote change."
Zico also met with federations members to try to gather the five indications needed to make his candidacy official. He said he didn't get official commitments from anybody, but remained hopeful of getting them by the Oct. 26 deadline.
